In this typically polished whodunnit adapted by Anthony Shaffer (who wrote Sleuth) from the Agatha Christie novel, Peter Ustinov makes his second appearance as fussy Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. You won't use up too many little grey cells figuring out who is responsible for the murder of actress Diana Rigg, but there's enormous pleasure to be had from sitting through the picture while waiting to be proved right. The stellar cast clearly enjoys itself, with Maggie Smith in fine fettle as the hotel manageress. Majorca looks hot, but it would have been nice if the producers had retained the original Cornish setting. Variety "...The action is swift....[The] cinematography is beautiful....Cole Porter's music is employed with good sense and tact..." Halliwell's Film Guide Very competent but somehow too bland package in the Agatha Christie series, not quite so lively as Death on the Nile.
